- users can subscribe to the bugs list [same amount of mail]
- there are uses to being notified of every bug, same as things like
gmane are subscribed to lists
- this makes lp less flexible not more.
I suspect you're doing a bandaid to the real issues:
- subscriber lists take up a lot of space and are rarely important
- we don't prune deactivated accounts effectively
- the implications of structural subscription are not clear to users
Could you please enlarge on why the approach you've put forward makes
sense long term? If we do need a bandaid, I'm positive doing that, but
I get the impression you don't consider this a bandaid, and given the
downsides: more interrupts from valid subscribers, more code to handle
special-only-in-scale problems, more ui complexity that is hard to
explain, I'd really prefer to see a path to a long term unified fix!
